For
people watching their weight, enjoying the occasional cocktail can be a
problem, since the average mixed drink contains over 300 calories. Now
Teresa Howes comes to the rescue with scores of cocktail recipes that
average only 142 calories each–but have the same great flavor and
alcohol content as their full-calorie counterparts. From a Skinny
Appletini and a Skinny Cosmopolitan to a Skinny Mojito and a Skinny
Margarita, these guilt-free drinks feature low-sugar or sugar-free
mixers, fresh fruit, and other clever ways to cut the calories. With 39
beautiful color photographs plus a section on diet-friendly drinks
people can order at a bar or restaurant, SkinnyTinis is a must-have guide for weight-conscious social drinkers everywhere.

Teresa Marie
Howes is a health enthusiast, expert skinny mixologist, avid runner and
published author. Backed with a formal education with degrees in both nutrition
and business and over a decade of professional experience consulting in the
weight loss industry, she certainly knows the “right” things to do when it
comes to living a healthy lifestyle. She is also well versed in the challenges
that an active social and travel calendar can infringe on ones best efforts to
do these “right” things.As it turns
out, what’s “right” isn’t always “realistic” and that’s where her personal
experience plays a key role. She has battled out the conflict of “right” and
“realistic” in the bars, on the road and on vacation for 15+ years – and now in
her mid-thirties and at a weight less than she weighed in high school, she’s
feeling pretty confident in her strategies and is eager to share them!
